The Asolo TPS 520 GV backpacking boot offers complete support and protection on the most challenging types of terrain. Full leather GORE-TEX construction provides waterproof breathable performance and long term durability for extended backpacking trips, light alpine trekking and rugged backcountry travels with a full pack. The boots full leather, minimal seam construction is ready for tough trail conditions and a speed lacing system at the ankle of this boot allows for quick lacing and fit adjustments. Here we have a model for the construction of the bottom of this boot. The first layer is a polyurethane shank. It’s very stiff, rigid and hard and offers the boot its structure and protects the bottom of your foot from roots and rocks especially under the weight of a heavy pack. Next we have two layers of polyurethane midsole. The first is very flexible with thick shock absorption in the heel cushion. The second relates to Asolo’s Triple Power Structure. This design incorporates three shock absorbers that correspond to the areas of the foot that receive the highest impact. The outsole of the TPS 520 is dual density Vibram rubbers with a prominent heel edge that provides better traction on steep descents.
